Jay Leno crashes 'Tonight Show' monologue to drop some election zingers

When Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon suffers a real, totally-not-staged injury, who you gonna call? Jay Leno.

Just like he did last year, Leno tagged in to Monday night's monologue to drop a string of election-related zingers, including digs at Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Billy Bush and even Mitt Romney (#TBT).

But it was this joke that really had the audience laughing: "The greatest thing about our country ... out of more than 325 million Americans," he said, "we were able to narrow [the election down to the two best-loved, most qualified people."
